If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our

accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides.

And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Acheron"
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.

All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
